Imagery classification
Through imagery classification, you can create thematic classified rasters that can be used to better understand changes on the physical landscape. Train, classify, and assess accuracy to then create data for decision-making.

Integration of administrative data
Statistical organizations facing many new challenges can use GIS to integrate administrative data and other nontraditional sources.
Examples of administrative data that can be integrated with ArcGIS include the following:
- Administrative register
- Postal units
- IRS or tax data
- Social Security data
- Education data
Map production automation
In any large census operation, map production is a key task. Statistical organizations often need printed or PDF maps or mobile map packages for use in computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) work in the field. ArcGIS provides tools that automate the production process from beginning to end. This includes tools for producing high-quality cartographic production and Web GIS integration.
Optimize your enumeration areas
Setting up well-balanced enumeration areas is a key activity in any census. Using ArcGIS tools, you can optimize, edit, and validate enumeration areas (EAs). Using a rules-based approach, ArcGIS allows you to select either custom boundaries or utilize geographic layers of the built environment, including features such as roads or rivers, to create barriers or help define EA boundaries.
